WindowTop and WindowLeft Properties Not Working

[billschu]

Hi,

I am trying to use the WindowTop and WindowLeft property but I am getting an error message "Application defined or object defined error". This is what I got from MSDN (below) - seems pretty straightforward so I'm not sure what is going on. I doesn't say I need a special library or anything.

Thanks,
Bill

WindowTop Property
Returns an Integer indicating the screen position in twips of the top edge of a form or report relative to the top of the Microsoft Access window. Read-only.


expression.WindowTop


expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Remarks

Example
The following example returns the screen position of the top and left edges of the first form in the current project.

With Forms(0)

MsgBox "The form is " & .WindowLeft _
& " twips from the left edge of the Access window and " _
& .WindowTop _
& " twips from the top edge of the Access window."

End With

I am just trying this in the immediate / debug window to test:

?Forms("frmMain").WindowTop

while the form is open, and I get the error.
one other thing to note, when I type the "." the property does not show up in the list, just WindowWidth and WindowHeight.

Thanks,
Bill
